Frequently Asked Questions

What material handling equipment do you sell in DFW besides rack?

Our MHE inventory includes wire mesh decking, column protectors, end-of-aisle guardrails, pallet supports, row spacers, dock levelers, dock seals and bumpers, lift tables, conveyor systems, mezzanines, modular offices, in-rack lighting, and pick-to-light integration. We commonly design and supply these alongside the rack system in the same DFW project, which eliminates spec mismatches between vendors.

Do you sell forklifts as well as pallet racking in Dallas–Fort Worth?

Yes — we stock new and used sit-down counterbalance forklifts, reach trucks, turret trucks, order pickers, and pallet jacks from major manufacturers. Electric and LP fuel options are sized for Texas ambient temperatures, which matter because DFW summers regularly exceed 100°F and affect battery performance and LP consumption rates. Forklift rentals are also available for phased moves and peak-season surge coverage.

Can you integrate material handling equipment with our DFW rack design?

Yes — integrated design is how we prefer to work. Rack layouts specified without MHE integration routinely produce mismatched aisle widths for the forklift class, wrong conveyor transfer elevations, and dock staging levels that do not align with trailer floors. We design rack and MHE together for new DFW builds and retrofit MHE into existing systems when operations change.

Do you service material handling equipment in the DFW area?

Yes — we provide scheduled preventive maintenance, emergency repair, planned overhauls, and OSHA 1910.178-required forklift operator training for forklifts and related MHE across the DFW metroplex. Our service technicians carry common spare parts and can typically dispatch within four hours for production-impacting breakdowns at Alliance, South Dallas, and other major industrial corridors.

Signs You Need More Material Handling Equipment

Still using wood pallets directly on beams — wire decking is now an OSHA and fire-code expectation
Frequent forklift strikes at the same columns — column guards or end-of-aisle guards are overdue
Operators are complaining about pallet overhang, beam deflection, or side-to-side pallet shift
Insurance carrier or fire marshal flagged missing in-rack safety accessories at last audit
Building out a pick-pack operation and need pallet supports, dividers, or flow rails
Dock plates, seals, or levelers are past their service life — dock damage is climbing
Adding a new product line that needs specialty containers, drum handlers, or specific lifters

Common Accessory Choices Compared

Most material-handling upgrades come down to a few comparable choices. Here is how the common options shake out for DFW warehouses.

Equipment Choice	Best For	Key Notes
Wire Decking (Standard)	Most pallet-load selective systems	Waterfall or flush style — 2,500–3,000 lb capacity per level typical
Wire Decking (Custom / Heavy-Duty)	Heavier beam selective or non-standard bay sizes	Custom wire gauge and channel spacing for 4,000+ lb loads
Slip-On Column Protectors	Retrofit to existing columns without repositioning rack	Installs in minutes, plastic or steel options
Bolt-On Steel Column Guards	High-traffic aisles, 3PL, and cold storage	Absorbs direct forklift strikes — longer life than slip-on plastic
End-of-Aisle Guardrails	Protecting uprights at the end of every pick aisle	Bolted to the floor — keeps damage off the rack itself
Pallet Supports	Undersized pallets, plastic pallets, or slip-sheet loads	Prevents pallets from falling through decking — cheap insurance
